You can go to the social security office and they can help with your SSDI questions.

I think it would be wise to seek some help elsewhere. Trying to find someone here to live with is not a wise choice. We here are also mentally ill and it would not be safe or healthy for one other.

I have had major depressive disorder and generalised anxiety disorder and they are no impediment to working or having a place to live.

Well, they suck but you can go to work whether they suck or not.

If you know you have to leave where you are, why not spend your time and energy getting a job and a place to stay. Why waste this time looking for a temporary out?

I guess you don't understand how debilitating illnesses can be I'm not going to dispute mental health here other than to each their own and when you have nobody in this whole world to go on every day alone with no one is very hard I wish you the best of luck and that you do not fall into despair that I have

Hey Rich, I was in your situation once.

I stayed at a salvation army shelter for a few weeks. I know you don't want to be homeless but sometimes shit like that happens. If you are in a shelter, they have counselors to give you support and resources to get you the medical attention you need. They can help you get medications paid for and support you in finding a job once you are stable. People all over the US pay into those charities so they will be there when people are down on their luck and need them. I recommend that you use this resource if you need to.

I'm a social worker. If you message me, I'll track down resources for you.

Rich, I agree with Gutted. You need to find someplace where you are to help you find a physical place to be.

DS is a help site...for emotional support...not financial, not physical.

You will be far from the first person to find yourself homeless, and while it's downright awful, it is possible to pull yourself out of it.

Best of wishes, Patti

    I got an email from Kohl's that I had a 40% off coupon for today and tomorrow only.  It took me about an hour but I placed an order and got some great deals.  I have been wanting a new dress.  I like dressing up sometimes.  My birthday is coming up and I have dinner plans at a nice restaurant.  But, honestly, I'm a little out of control again.  I went through this in the fall.  I bought...

    Has anyone else noticed that clearly speaking and doing things intentionally is liberating because it helps combat the feeling of depression and a sense of hopelessness? Let me share a little more: in my experience, when those who have tried to project a hidden agenda that is obviously not aligned with integrity and well-being, it's best to be firm and speak clearly from self-awareness and...
